The Benefits of Adding Flexible Seating to Your Classroom
One method of providing students more opportunity for movement is through the use of flexible seating. Flexible seating is becoming increasingly popular both in the primary and secondary classrooms. It can look different in every classroom, but typically includes allowing students to choose from at least a few of the following: student sized rocking chairs, core wobble stools, standing desks, ball chairs, bungee bands for chair legs, inflatable wiggle seats, or carpet squares/mats.

How to Choose A Portable Sink for Your School
What is a portable sink?
A portable sink is a self contained sink unit that does not use traditional plumbing. It operates using a fresh water and waste water tank that are inside the cabinet underneath the sink.
